The Geezer to the rescue: procure a good-sized square piece of crab netting (one-inch square holes) and drape it over the can with the food. They'll try it once or twice, but they HATE getting their paws caught in the net and will soon go elsewhere for dinner. I was plagued with racoons in suburban Philly when I lived there, until an aunt who lived on the Outer Banks taught me this little trick. It's real cheap, so what have you got to lose, other than your masked buddies? Good luck.
